Rain is the same way. But I knew that when I got her. I asked which of the puppies were more playful and he said "this one is the cuddler" so I picked the other one. haha. and he was right, Rain is definately NOT the cuddler. I wanted a dog for sports (dock diving, frisbee and obediance) and she is perfect I have a feeling once she gets older she will just want to cuddle all the time. haha

We were the opposite! We had it narrowed down to two puppies to choose from as well. The breeder mentioned that puppy A was more adventurous and puppy B was more snuggly. So we chose puppy B after interacting with them both. I figured working with a puppy who is more handler oriented can be easier. Our last golden was independent and we went through some tough puppy stages before we finally clicked. But we did!

To the OP, I bet your pup will come around as well. Just give him some time. Congrats on your new pup too by the way! I wish you many wonderful years ahead with him.
